<br /> <br /> <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />Staff contacted the cities of Shoreview, Mounds View, and Vadnais Heights to ask how <br />residential accessory structure setbacks are regulated in their communities. The table below <br />provides a summary of the information collected: <br /> <br />City Side Yard Setback Rear Yard Setback <br />Arden Hills 10 feet 10 feet <br />Mounds View 5 feet 5 feet <br />Vadnais Heights 5 feet 10 feet <br />Shoreview <br />5 feet (less than 200 s.f.) <br />10 feet (200 s.f. or greater) 10 feet <br /> <br />The cities of Mounds View and Vadnais Heights have a standard setback requirement for <br />accessory structure regardless of size. Shoreview requires a greater side yard setback for <br />accessory structures that are 200 square feet in floor area or greater. <br /> <br />Arden Hills requires a Building Permit for an accessory structure of 200 square feet or greater in <br />size. A Zoning Permit is required for structures with a floor area between 120 and 200 square <br />feet. For structures less than 120 square feet in size, no permit is required but property owners <br />are required to meet the setback requirements. <br /> <br /> <br />Next Steps <br /> <br />Staff is requesting feedback from the City Council on the following questions: <br /> <br />1. Would the City Council support having staff and the Planning Commission review and <br />make a recommendation on residential accessory structure setback requirements? <br /> <br />2. Does the City Council believe that different setback distances should be required for <br />accessory structures depending on the size of the structure? <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A.
